It can be used for any stored value application, such as electronic coupons, membership cards, or prepaid cards.   Rewards Card Only The Rewards Card Only plan is the right option if your business is built on any type of a tally model, such as pre-paid copy cards, rewards points, or buy 12 get one free. Most businesses such as companies offering Experience gifts use their rewards card as a customer loyalty plan. Every time a customer spends a dollar, the customer earns a point. By offering extra points at target hours of the day, these businesses are also able to increase their regular traffic during traditionally slow hours. In addition, they can use points to cross-sell, to up-sell, or to introduce customers to new product lines, effectively boosting the average sale per customer.   Gift Card with Loyalty This is our most popular program, because it combines the best of two worlds!

In fact, before you ever place your order, a representative will visit your place of business and help you put together a gift card marketing strategy. When we meet face-to-face and get to know your business, we are then able to help you lay the foundation for long-term success. How you run your business will determine the solution we recommend and how we price your account. For example, most of our coffee shops process a large number of gift card transactions, but for small dollar amounts. Thus, a flat-rate program with no transaction fee usually works best for them. On the other hand, a small retailer, who may do most of their volume during the holiday season, generally comes out ahead when we charge by the transaction.   What Are My Options? Per transaction - With our Per Transaction program, you pay a small fee for each transation. Depending on whether you have multiple locations or whether you use our credit card processing, you may also pay a small monthly hosting fee. Flat rate - With our Unlimited Transaction program, you can process as many gift and loyalty transactions as you need for as little $1.00 a day. Funds settlement - If you are a franchisor, chamber of commerce, trade association, community bank, hair salon, retail chain, or anyone who needs to settle and reconcile funds from multiple bank accounts, we can provide a solution that works!   Buying the Plastic Gift Cards In the gift card industry, there are least three types of plastic, two types of magnetic stripes, and three methods of producing cards. Rest assured, you'll receive the highest quality product with our program. Some of our plans come with a limited number of free gift cards.

At 10,000 cards, the price comes to about 38в.
